It was previously reported that last week’s episode of Raw drew a really terrible crowd as almost half of the arena was empty. Tonight’s Raw will emanate from San Jose and it seems that WWE will be having another bad attendance day unless they somehow sell or give away a bunch of tickets before the show.
Because of Raw not doing very well for the past few weeks, it appears that WWE is giving away big matches for free on television. It was said that the reason behind this is the simple fact that football is back on and it later added that the real reason behind this is to boost viewership and attendance.
